Until June 1994, Lloyd Larson served as Associate Pastor of Music and Worship at Meadow Park Church in Columbus, Ohio, where the music program included a Sanctuary Choir, a fully-graded children and youth choir program, multiple handbell choirs and an active instrumental program. In August 1994, Larson and his family relocated to the Minneapolis, Minnesota area where he now makes his living as a free-lance composer-arranger, and serves as Keyboard Product Developer for Lillenas Publishing Company. It is his work with the local church, though, which continues to be the catalyst for much of his writing. He is an active participant in his own local church where he currently directs the adult and youth choirs in addition to regularly being involved in worship planning and leadership. Larson has a B.A. from Anderson University, an M.C.M. from Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, and he has done graduate work at Anderson School of Theology, Southern Baptist Seminary, Ohio State University, and Northern Baptist Seminary. To date, his publications number over 300.
